r_waterwarp in some engines. 

oh... sorry, this isn't what you need. You want to enable the warp in air, this variable can only disable it when in water. 

I recall there's a power up in Quoth that does it... 

But you can make the player drunk with some console commands I can't remember just now. C shift and Bob speed or something.

I usted them in a�n e3m4 remake During the posponed section. Will dig them out and post in a bit.

It's a single one - v_idlescale.

This is not quite correct. It appears this way in Darkplaces, because the engine automatically applies view warping when v_cshift is used, but this is not true in all engines. 

Didn't know that. Is that for the Trinity? 

actually, on second thought, my last post might not be entirely correct.

I noticed it on a different powerup I was making, but that powerup uses the same cshift values as stock liquid 'haze' colour, so it might be that DP is trying to fake waterwarp on 'fake' water effects (ie: if a mod tries to fake water with cshift). 

Thanks for all the feedback, I went through the Ftiz source looking for clues. I found all the v_cshift stuff but could not work out where the warp effect was coming from. I assume it is a point content check somewhere and a special routine to do the warp effect.

@ijed, thanks for the console command, that is very cool, I will try that on lower settings so the screen is not completely static. It is a shame there is no console command for the warp, it would have been the icing on the cake for my setup. 

To seeing whatever it is. 

What's the best way of having a message pop up? Let's say like 2 or 3 times with a little delay between beeps? 

trigger_multiple 

I was wondering... A program to read the .map file. Assign the quake monsters a difficulty rating of 1-10. Have the program count each using the appear flags. You could get the relative difficultly at each skill level.

Another idea. Is there a way to keep score? Count up total damage done at the end of a map or even have running total. 

That would only give you a very general idea.

Consider an ogre on the same height as the player vs an ogre on a ledge above the player.

Consider fighting a shambler with LG vs fighting a shambler with a DBS. 

Resuming, Worldcraft 3.3 + qadapter by Baker doesn't save.

Actually, it's more like it reverts to a previously saved stage.

Example: just yesterday, i was mapping all the evening, saving over the old archive always and testing the changes frequently, and closing the program 2 times on that time frame without reseting. But after seeing that it's going to be dark soon, i save again and close the Worldcraft. I remember i forgot something to do, i load the program and the map again, only to see that the map is at the stage that it was in the middle of the evening. It just choose one random one. I don't think it's related, but if i try to load the .map on Quark to check if the truth is that the last save is still there, it gives me an error and doesn't let me check it. I'll try with Radiant next time. B the way, the .bsp is fine.

I do think it happened again some months ago, when i copied a different map to another computer. This time it reverted to a stage one week previous to the last one when i copied it back into my computer. But i'm not sure about this last one. I still have to check into that other computer.

If anyone knows of this, it would be a great help some advice, if this keeps on, i'll have to quit WC.

Thx in advance to anyone that answers. 

i save again

I call BS!

I have lost work before from not saving. You're not the only one. 

I'll be more precise.

What im trying to say, it's that EVEN if I SAVE the map a LOT of times, it goes back to a previous save, not the penultimate, one or 2, 3, ... even before of that one. Not that it happens all the times.

I'll repeat the first example:
- 0) Run the WC
- 1) Work in my map.
- 2) I save the map.
- 3) Close the Worldcraft, completely.
- 4) Run the Worldcraft again, the map is there as i saved it in 2), no problem.
- 5) Work again on it
- 6) Save again the map
- 7) Close the Worldcraft again, completely.
- 8) Run the Worldcraft again. Load the map, and the map is like it was in 0), but we know that WC saved it in 2) because in 4) we saw that the map was saved.

Is it clear now? :) 

Yeah, wonder why we still don't have a QC or engine mod with more elaborate stats a-la DM: damage done/ received, accuracy for each weapon, items picked up etc. Would fun for players and helpful for designers. 

I have no idea! That's fucked up. Are you sure you installed Worldcraft 3.3 and not Witchcraft 3.3? Have you tried using Worldcraft 3.4 instead? I don't know, but if that's a bug, maybe they fixed it in 3.4....... 

Open a dropbox account and save your levels there - that will give you an extra backup if things get lost or broken.

In fact, let me invite you so I can get more free space! 

Might not solve your problem.

Personally I find it's better to save everything to the cloud in any case, just in case. 

necros: I was thinking just for level design a quick way to see whats going on enemy wise at various skill levels.

RickyT23: "Witchcraft 3.3" :) it feels that way sometimes late at night when you should have just gone to bed.

slapmap: We should have stats. Might make SP more competitive. 

The only advantage to Worldcraft that I see now is the extra texture information, and making very accurate (non terrain) large brush structures. Other than that I find the workflow is very slow in comparison to TB and it doesn't really support complex terrain (amongst many other things).
Personally I haven't used WC since trench came out. 

I'll probably try to mend this by using ''save as...'', for making different versions, and saving things to another places. I use to do that when working on 3d modelling so i could go back to a previous stage, not that this give an noticiable advantage when mapping, but can be useful.

Fifhtelephant: i should try at least TB, i did try Quark back in the nineties but i didn't like it, but after so many ears with WC is hard to change.

Ijed: that's a good idea, i'll think about it. And i'll do too about your offer :)

RickyT23: about the 3.4, i read that it doesn't provide anything useful for quake mapping. I looked too at the changelog and haven't seen anything about bugs. I read too that 3.4 is considered Hammer, and Valve doesn't give permission to make maps outside HL with Hammer.

Back in the nineties i thought too that it was Witchcraft 1.2, with so many errors and issues at the compiler that i didn't know about.

Now i know most of them thanks to so many useful documents on the net. There is still one that i don't know how it works, after checking everywhere and in the document that is provided with issues for Beng Jardrup tools too: it is the ''can't find /id1/maps/yyy.bsp, there is no such file or directory'' that shows at the compiler and stops it. I usually fix it by removing the last brushes i put in, but it's weird, it shouldn't be related to that.
